Moritz Michael Daffinger was an Austrian Biedermeier miniaturist, according to Boris Wilnitsky. "Biedermeier" covers the period between the end of the Napoleonic wars and the upheavals of 1848, particularly in Austria and particularly as applies to interior design. As a result, the later part of the Biedermeier era spans about the first half of the early Victorian era.
